Controversy over the site
[edit]Why was this text removed ? - please discuss before removing further text.
In 1999 there was some controversy regarding this site and others under the care of the English Heritage organisation. The Cornish Stannary Parliament wrote to English Heritage asking them to remove all signs bearing their name from Cornish sites by July 1999 as they regard the ancient sites as Cornish heritage, not English. Over eleven months eighteen signs were removed by members of the Cornish Stannary and a letter was sent to English Heritage saying "The signs have been confiscated and held as evidence of English cultural aggression in Cornwall. Such racially motivated signs are deeply offensive and cause distress to many Cornish people". (see external BBC link). *Cornish Stannary Parliament tackles cultural aggression in Cornwall *BBC news - Historic signs case trio bound over

Siege
[edit]The new section seems to be a cut 'n' paste from http://www.cornwall-online.co.uk/english-heritage/pendennis.htm Vernon White . . . Talk 22:08, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
- I had thought it was a cut and paste from the Cornwall in the English Civil War article. However the Internet Archive shows that you are correct. The text was on their website from December 2001, nearly 6 years before it first appeared on Wikipedia. As their site disclaimer does not allow any unauthorised copying this is clearly a breach of copyright and I will now remove the text from both articles.
- If another editor wishes to restore the information to the article, I would suggest rewriting it in your own words with the original website included as a citation. Road Wizard (talk) 22:55, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
